Candles, flowers, and an iPhone with Steve Jobs' photo were placed outside the Apple Store in New York City.

The six Apple stores in North Texas will close for an unspecified number of hours Wednesday.

The stores are closing so that employees can attend or watch a webcast celebrating the life of Steve Jobs, the company's founder who passed away Oct. 5.

The memorial service is expected to start at about 10 a.m. in Cupertino, Calif., which is noon in North Texas.

Apple, ever secretive, hasn't said when they'll be closing their stores, or when they'll be reopening them for that matter. That being said, the closure is expected to last from around noon to 3 p.m. Dallas time.

The company has two stores in Dallas and one each in Fort Worth, Frisco, Plano and Southlake.
